CULBERgON'S CONVICTIONS.

A Spirit of Compromise on tho Tariff CUES
ton Prevails,
Special to the Gazette.
TExARKANA, TEX, Dec. % "A promi-
nent citizen Of this city received letter
to-day from Colonel D. B. Culberson, our
member OF Congress for this district, and
TIE GAZETTE reporter is permitted to
make the following extracts therefrom,
which will be interesting to the people,
for Colonel Cplberson IS good authority
on any subject pertaining 10 national pol
tics:
"The feeling among the Democrats in
Congress indicates harmonious action On
the tariff question. A spirit of compro-
mise and concession prevails. The i'm
periCus necessity for some action oI the
part Of Congress forces tolerance Ct
conflicting views upon q subject which
embraces such variety of interests. II
we can secure by reasonable concession
the passage of TN act that will reduce the
cole ction Of revenue to point Of safety
80 the volume of circulation, and at the,
same time Tighten the burden OF taxatlon;
upon some Of the necessaries of life, the
tariff will cut no figure in the next RreSi.
Dental election. Both parties willsbe
willing to test the efficacy of .sud4. a
statute before making new depA5fHfe,
You will bear in mind, Thoughts that 3nyl
law upon the subjsct OF reduction of tarfR
aRd Internal taxation, must receive the apsl
proval or acquiescence at least OF &diRided
DemocracY-snd Republican Senate.
In that event the battle will be fought out
upon the merits of Mr.. Cleveland's ad-
ministration. The result will not be
doubtful. The administration of Mr..
Cleveland has commended itself to the
great controlling business interests OF the
country, and dispeiled the oft-repeated
charge'that the policies OF the Democratic
party are hostile to the prosperity of our
industrial and financial interests
"But on the other hand, If we fail to
secure such law, and the administrs-
ton shall be forced to protect the volume
OF circulation, by purchasing bonds and
Increasing deposits with the banks, the
tariff will be the paramount issue in the
presidential contest, and Mr.. Cleveland's
message will furnish the battle ground.
The greatest question in American politics
will thus be settled upon grounds
deliberately selected by Democratic
President. Nothing in Mr.. Cleveland's
conspicuous career hiss SO endeared him
to the people as this bold and patriotic
announcement CT his devotion to their In
tereste. II has stricken the enemy with
terror, and in NY opinion will drive them
to concession and compromise rather
than join issue upon the crest question
so well presented by he President"

Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX, Dec. 21.-It transpires
that Mr.. Gas Wilke, sub contractor on
the new capitol, has informed Governor
Ross he will st his own expense put in
the addition to the capital dome recon-
mended by architects. The cost
will approximate $4,000. It is
believed by those conVersant
with all the circumstances thst IWike,
and indeed the entire Capitol Syndicate,
have done the honorable and straight
thing all the way through. They are
nearly all millionaires. Wilke himself
OWES almost one-third Of Austin by way
of mortgages. None Of the syndicate are
compelled to resort to cheating. They
are rich enough without it.
Arrangements are being made st the
Governors mansion to make the yearly
festivities especially brilliant. The new
year reception at the executive mansion
on January 2 will last from to p. m.
Mrs. Governor Ross will be assisted BY
Mesdames Hall, Hanson, Lub

A school teacher from Williamson
county, near Round Rock named G. A.
Hardie came TO Austin a few days ago and
took board at hotel on Pecan street.
This afternoon servant girl entered his
room and found him dead in
his bed. Testimony at the inquest showed
he went to drug store and asked for
arsenic to kill rats. The druggist said he
had better take rough on rats. "Then
give me rough on rats" said Hardte.
Some of it was found on the bed near the
corpse. In his pocket were found his
own photo and two bits in money. That
told the tale.
Complaints from school teachers
Throughout the state are coming to the
departments concerning stheir non-psy :
ment. Ga inquiry ii is Learned that the
state now owes the teschers q total sum
approxImating 100000 which she
is unable to pay and viii

GoLIAD, TEX, Dec. lS.-There are
many traditions about buried treasure in
the vicinity CT Golisd, and great deal OF
digging and prospecting has been done
with no known Of return for the labor. It
seems, however, thst some one did strike
1t one night last week. The hole that
was made in the ground shows that o
vessel of some kind was taken out, and
other signs of rust, etc, makes it appear
that money may have been excavated.

New Sugar Processes.

The march of improvement in manufactur-
ing methods has invaded the sugar industry.
There is now i'll competition with the diffusion
process invented by ex- Governor Yarmouth,
of Louisiana, what, if its merits be not over
stated, is formidable rival By diffusion,
the sugar of the cane is extracted in the form
of a very weak liquid composed largely of
water. 1t is claimed that $50 pounds of
sugar will be produced by this system from a
ton Of cane, gain of about so per cent on
the Iesults obtainable by the old system. But
the solution is so weak that getting rid of the
water by evaporation almost absorbs the
value of the additional sugar gained Mr..
Yasgan, of Toledo o., invented, about year
ago, n system of multiple effect evaporation,
which, it is said, will overstep this objection.
By his method the evaporation is performed
within coils Of pipe surrounded by steam or
other heating medium, but small quantity
OF liquid being within the coil at any one
time. The main advantage claimed for the
system is economy of fuel. The machines are
automatic, and the system is applicable to
glue, wood pulp, liquors, condensed milk,
eaustic soda, etc.-Demorest's Monthly.

and tenderness, and he listened with great in
tereSt and respect, and told her that he
hoped always TO be just to all and especially
TO see that the poor and defenseleSs were
fairly treated His voice and manner told
how his heart was touched, and his softened
tones showed how "the bravest are the ten
derest' She told him how his tasks and
trials were appreciated and how much faith
was placed in his upright doing of duty to
the oppressed, and he quietly, yet with much
feeling, expressed the hope that be might ever
be wise and firm and never forget the inalien-
able rights Of all.
Only great souls can comprehend true
greatness, and these two understood each
other. Nothing in the illustrious career of
Gen. Grant gave me a fuller sense of his
largeneSs of heart and mind than his unpre-
tending simplicity and appreciative respect in
this interview, while the fine and simple dig
nifty of Sojourner Truth also gave me a fuller
sense of her large womanhood She said TO
him: Il have little book here that call nv
book Of life. A good many names are in it,
and l have kept a place on the same page
with Lincoln's for you to write your name -
He replied Il am glad to put it there" and
wrote his autograph in her little book She
then said: at will do me good for you to
have my photograph" and with evident
pleasure he thanked her and selected one
from several laid on the table
The conversation had lasted beyond the
usual time, others stood by, waiting their
turn, yet listening with great interest, and
the fit time came to leave The president
rose from his chair and gave Sojourner his
hand with a parting word of good will This
mutual respect and appreciative sympathy
between the president of a great republic
and woman born slave and representing
an oppressed people was admirable and inspir-
ing.-G. Stebbins.

An chronological Question.

As it requires something more than the ac-
cident of birth in France to make French
man, or in Holland to make Dutchman, or
in Cork to make an Irishman, so it requires
s. mething more than the accident of birth
ithin the geographical boundary of this
America to make Yankee A person born
Patagonia, of Mongolian or Ethiopian pa
rents, is no less an American than a person
born in Chicago or Washington Of foreign
parents. But neither the one nor the other is
by reason of the accident Of birth Yankee.
The names Briton, German, Irish, Yankee,
etc, denote distinct families Of men that are
distinguishable from each other, as the chill
dren Of different parents are, by certain FAM
lily hkensSses and unlikenesses which are not
obiterated by mere place Of birth. To OBJ
literate them there must take place what is
called assimilation, and this rarely appears in
tn first generation, and never in the case Of
fol eigners of different race.
Among persons of kindred races, the pro-
cess Of assimilation is more rapid. The off
spring of Britons in this country are not
easily distinguished from the purest Yankees;
in fact, Britons themselves who migrate in
early life are not, race and language being
the same.-Chicago Times

Memory of Hotel Clerks.

The general impression that hotel clerks
have to lie phenomenal in the matter of mem
DRY is not strictly correct. A good memory
is indeed very useful thing TO hotel man,
and his very occupation will, in the course of
time, work a great improvement in it.
But the idea that every hotel clerk is a
mnemonic prodigy is false. Mr.. j. W. Shea.
Of the Gilsey house, said recently, in speaking
of this subject: MANY people are extremely
sensitive if you forget their names, and there
is scarcely any one who Is not pleased if you
step up to him, after a years absence, and
seem to remember all about him at once.
But. with all our care, we often forget the
name of an important guest and sometimes
a great deal OF fineSse is necessary to avoid
disagreeable complications
"Quite frequently we will pretend not to
see man at all, and seem to he busy doing
something about the desk, when as n matter
of fact we are waiting TO watch him sign his
name Although the signature may be up
side down to US, we can frequently get hint
from it, and as soon as we catch on to the
name we bounce out and salute him like a
long lost brother. No, sir, hotel clerk Is
not mere msmOl king machine. He must
be something of diplomat as well. New
York Commercial Advertiser.

Head Waiter to hi. stan.

4NOw, If a person riders pot of coffee,
don't bring up cold milk unless it is called
for. Bring up hot milk with coffee and cold
milk with tea Always serve pulverized sugar
with tomatoes, lettuce, and cracked ice with
cucumbers and tomatoes. Watermelon,
cantaloupe, muskmelon and berries, of course,
need milk or cream and pulverized sugar
A dessert knife and fork and powdered sugar

kinds of pie Many men never think of such
thing as putting mustard on the table
Some people like it. There are very few who
have Yet learned that a boiled potato is
proper with baked beans. Don't cover the
bread plate with a napkin; it looks as if there
were dirt or dust around. This matter of
laughing and fooling don't make waiter. I
should stop it.
"All cold meats ought to be garnished with
parsley, lettuce or celery. Be careful about
leaving your side towels around Another
man comes along with something TO wipe,
and he don't know whether it has been lying
there for twenty seconds or twenty years. 1t
is good plan not to wipe your face with an
apron or towel, nor to be too familiar with
the proprietor. 1 never allow myself even to
drink glass of lemonade with him.
''lf you see that guest of the house wishes
to be waited on by particular man with
whom he is acquainted always give way po-
itely and without confusion. A waiter
should always keep his eye cast toward the
door instead of out of the window Be care
full in serving any kind of 'fizz' wines, to
pour them cut carefully. In serving old
wines never wipe off the dust from the bot
tie. Never wipe off the label, and be sure to
show the label to the gentlemen in order that
there may be no mistake. e."-Cleveland Plain

What Becomes of Olo Furnitnre9

To the uninitiated it seems strange what
becomes of all the second hand furniture. and
yet although so much of it is thrown on the
market, the demand is always greater than
the supply. | make sometimes three or four
residence sales in a week. besides my large
sale at the auction rooms every Saturday.
selling Ame weeks several thousand dollars
worth of property. People in moving find a
lot of odds and ends that are of no use to
them, they send them to the auction house.
some one buys them, carts them home to use
until they tire of them, then the stuff is again
sold, changing hands until it is worn out and
worthless, finally being burned up. There
are hundreds of furnished room houses which
are supplied from auction sales Younp
housekeepers who want 10 economic also very
often fit up from auction, picking up very
nice goods at low prices. People leaving the
city to reside elsewhere send their entire
household effects to the auction rooms, realiz-
ing generally about fifty cents on the dollar
of original cost. Sometimes they sell their
property to second hand dealers, who clean
up the furniture, bring it to auction, and
realize an immense profit
A rather laughable incident occurred sew
eral weeks ago A gentleman in the west
end sold to a dealer a very handsome but
rather back number bedroom suit. The
dealer transformed the set by cutting down
the high top bed and dressing case to more
modern proportions cleaned it up, vanished
it nicely and brought it to the auction rooms.
Mr.. West End happens in during the sale,
takes a notion to the really handsome set,
buys it, carts it home and is none the wiser
until his sharp eyed wife dispels the bargain
Illusion by informing him that he had bought
back his own furniture at 200 per cent profit
to the smart dealer. Mr. West End, sadder
but wiser, sends the set back to be resold.
and the dealer smiles.-Alexander A. Selkirk
